BARNSTABLE — An Orleans man was sentenced to six months in the Barnstable County Correctional Facility on Tuesday after a Barnstable District Court jury found him guilty of driving under the influence of alcohol.

Christopher McEnaney, 23, also was found guilty of negligent operation of a motor vehicle. Charges of driving with a suspended license, driving a motor vehicle without authority and having an open container of alcohol were dismissed.

McEnaney was sentenced to two years in the correctional facility with six months to serve and the balance suspended during two years of probation.

At around 1:30 a.m. Aug. 16, police followed McEnaney to the parking lot of the International Inn in Hyannis after observing him speeding and skidding around North Street, according to a police report.

While talking to McEnaney, police saw a bottle of liquor in the back seat of the car, according to the report. A hatchet protruded from the passenger seat, the report says.

When McEnaney got out of the car, police saw a foldout knife clipped to his pocket, the report says. McEnaney was handcuffed while police retrieved the knife, according to the report. No other weapons were found.

McEnaney was unsteady on his feet and unable to recite the alphabet, stopping at the letter "H" before saying, "There, I did fine," according to the report.
